Removing children from a canvas ruins layout [message #445143] Tue, 26 October 2004 20:26 Go to next message

Originally posted by: wayneg.ananzi.co.za

Hi all

My problem is in the following section of code. The idea is to delete the
children of the canvas then create two groups on the canvas and insert
widgets into those groups. The first section ...

<code>
children = driCan.getChildren ();
for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
children [i].dispose ();
}
</code>
This line has been tested in line with some code I found on this site.
//children = new Control [0];

is what I use to empty the canvas. With this section implemented the
layout works doesn't work and the second group is drawn behind the first
group (this has been proven). When I don't implement this section the
canvas predictably doesn't refresh. It there an easier way to implement
this?

I have added more of my code for completeness.Sorry if the post is a bit
long.

Thanks
Wayne

You are going to have to provide a complete working example in order to give
us something to debug.
